[[03405]] MUIR, Forrester Henry

According to other family members, Forrester returned from the First World War and then deserted his family and simply disappeared.
His military record says he was 28 years old when he embarked from Melbourne Tuesday, 4 April 1916

Wolfram Camp would be brought into communication with the outside world by such a railway line. I might here remark that Wolfram Camp will be able to produce ore after smaller shows have duffered out, or have been shut down by a fall in the price of wolfram.
The ore occurs in pipes and chutes of very irregular form, in a greisen rock of the usual sort for such deposits. Similar formations occur at Kingsgate, near Glen Innes, and at Ollear Creek, between Townsville and, Ingham. Bismuth and molybdenite occur along with the wolfram at all those places. A small stamper mill, or a Huntingdon mill and Woodbury concentrator would do well at Wolfram Camp from the very start, as there are thousands of tons of payable seconds available for milling, and a supply of water can be obtained quite close to the mines. Any investor that feels moved to such a safe investment may communicate with Mr Forrester Muir, the secretary of the Wolfram Camp Progress Association.

Timber Cutter Hurt.

When his axe glanced off a vine he was cutting this morning, R. Charles received a nasty gash to the back of his head. The young man was working with Forrester Muir catting sleeper blocks, and was clearing a vine away preparatory to cutting a tree, when the accident happened. Muir immediately rushed him to the Ravenshoe Ambulance, first-aid was rendered and the man conveyed to the Herberton Hospital.

ROSS - MUIR. At the Methodist Church, Ravenshoe on Saturday, August 8, a very pretty wedding took place, when Ethel Marie, daughter of Mrs. S. E. Muir, Ravenshoe, was united in the holy bonds of matrimony with Henry Francis, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross, Malanda. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr. F. Muir, looked charming in a gown of white angel skin lace over satin, made on classical lines and featuring bishop sleeves. Her veil was confined with a wreath of orange blossoms, and she carried a bouquet of white watsonia and stocks. Miss Phyllis Davis, cousin of the bride, attended as bridesmaid. Her dress was of pink lace and georgette, with hat and shoes en suite. Her bouquet was of rose colored sweet peas. The Rev. Lanham, of Herberton, was the officiating minister. Mrs. Davis presided at the organ and Mr. J. Guy was best man. The reception after the ceremony was held in the School of Arts, when Mrs. Muir, mother of the bride, received her guests, in a frock of floral crepe-de-chine, with hat and coat to match. More than 40 guests were present.

Woman's Body Found

THIS MORNING.
The dead body of an old age pensioner, named Mrs. Kolass, was found in the back room of her residence, which is behind Messrs. Moran and Co.'s butcher shop, opposite the Massey Harris Ltd. It appears that an employee of the butcher shop, named Ted Keilly, was in the yard washing his horses when he became aware of a very disagreeable odour. He mentioned the matter to his employer, but both came to the conclusion that it must have been the water. At about 11.45 a.m. Keilly walked info the back room and there found, stretched out upon the floor, the dead body of the woman, in an advanced state of decomposition. The Police were advised and the body removed to the morgue, where a post mortem was held. The deceased was last seen alive on Saturday last. Her husband, it is supposed, poisoned himself some time back. She was lying fully clothed on the floor of the bedroom. Her head and shoulders were under the bed.

At the time of her death her parents were recorded as Michael MADDIN and Elizabeth FLEMING and this date of death has not been verified by the author. Given that Ellen started drinking about 1911 and that it became a serious problem later in life, the details about her death could be less than accurate. The author has not been able to locate the place of burial.

N. BROCK  writes on the Saturday, 13 June 2015, to say that  she believes that Ellen is buried in the Longreach Cemetery under the name CAREW

The following cases were dealt with at the Longreach Police Court on Thursday:-Denis Patrick Murphy, W. R. Williams, John Madden, William Barry, Michael Ryan, and Michael Carew, all charged with drunkenness, were fined in amounts ranging from 30/ downwards. Two of the delinquents were told by the P. M. that if they came before him again he would consider the question of treating them as habitual drunkards and issue a prohibition order against them.

A NEGLECTED CHILD.

Ellen Carew, alias Belcher, aged 52, was arrested for drunkenness in Kent-street about 10.30 on Thursday night, and charged in the Police Court yesterday morning, before Messrs. Scott and Kelly, JJ.P. There were three previous convictions recorded against her. " Yes, yes," was the weary response to the query as to whether she was guilty. " I had had a few, too." Senior-sergeant M'Iver mentioned that the defendant had been previously warned concerning a little boy of about six years, whom she was in the habit of taking with her drinking about the hotels. The child had been with her last night again. Mr. Scott: Are you taking any action for "neglected child ?" The Senior-sergeant said that he intended to do so. Defendant said that she was arrested in Kent-street, where she had been to the Convent to arrange for her child to be taken into a convent at Koongal. Mr. Scott entered a conviction and discharged the defendant, asking her to take better care of her child. Defendant: I am, your Worship. I am going to put him right into the convent where he will be well looked after.

As she had not been before the Court since October, 1928, she was convicted and discharged.

Philip Le Gros, 32, pleaded not guilty to a charge of vagrancy. Evidence of arrest was given by Acting-sergeant Caplice, who stated that he arrested Le Gros at 4.30 that morning. When charged Le Gros remarked "You're silly!" Mr. E. R. Larcombe (instructed by Messrs. Hobler and Powell) asked for a remand, till this morning, which was granted. His application for bail was refused at the instance of the police. Mr. Larcombe's statement that the defendant had a tailoring business failed to move the P.M. to grant bail.

{SI} Madden And Carew. POLICE INTERVENE. Although they have not been living in Bolsover-strcet for any length of time, the Maddens and Carews have taken up no little time of the police stationed down in the lower end of the town, on account of the two male members of the family getting into heated arguments with each other. On January 28th last John Leo Madden (15 convictions) was arrested in the house for using obscene language, and as the result of another argument on Thursday night Madden and Ellen Carew, alias Belcher (two convictions) were arrested for using obscene language. They appared in Court yesterday, before Messrs. A. H. Scott and, E. A. Kelly, JJ.P., and were each fined £1; in default, seven days' imprisonment. Both pleaded not guilty, the female defendant remarking "I must plead not guilty to such language." Evidence was given by Constable Anglin and Acting-sergeant Caplis to the effect that whilst on duty in Bolsover-street at about 9 o'clock on Thursday night they noticed people standing in front of the house occupied by the two defendants and their families. When they approached the two defendants and another man were arguing and they overheard the female defendant use some rather strong epithets concerning the police and her husband. The two officers entered the premises, and the trio made off towards the back of the house. Tho two men made a clean get away, but the female defendant was located in the bathroom, and was arrested. Later the same night the police returned to the house and arrested Madden for using obscene language. Carew (to Constable Anglin) : Where was I when I made use of the language ? -On the verandah. Carew : Oh, no, I wasn't. I was only in the house 10 minutes when you came through as though in search of someone. Was I drunk ? You had had drink. Carew : Would you like me to prove I wasn't drunk and didn't use the language ? I haven't taken drink since Christmas time, because I am under the doctor. When cross-examining Sergeant Caplis, the same defendant avowed that it was a deliberate lie to say she was standing on the front verandah. "When the police came," she said, "I was standing talking to my daughter on the back verandah. There was no swearing from me, but you gave me provocation to swear. What did you call my husband to my brother? If I had been drunk I might have used the language but I wasn't. It's easy to catch a woman, and they would have taken me without my petticoat and shoes only my little girl put them on." Giving evidence, Mrs. Carew, who said that she had only taken the oath when she got married, denied using the language, adding that she was not in the habit of swearing. Senior-sergeant M'Iver : The police have been down at your place a good deal ?-Not too often. When they do it is only through Jack and Mick having a little drink. They were always arguing.
